More Fareed Zakaria Plagiarism Charges: Watchdogs Find 26 New Instances on CNN Show

More Fareed Zakaria Plagiarism Charges: Watchdogs Find 26 New Instances on CNN Show: CNN host Fareed Zakaria has been accused of plagiarism again.

Our Bad Media, the group that brought down left-wing Buzzfeed's Benny Johnson before National Review hired him, found that "two dozen episodes of Fareed Zakaria GPS contain content that has been lifted without proper attribution or sourcing – including one he earned a Peabody for." Zakaria’s November 2011 "Peabody-award winning special on education," Our Bad Media noted, "lifts from the Washington Post, CNN, and McKinsey."

In another instance, Zakaria repeated the introduction of a 2010 Dutch documentary on Russian whistleblower Sergei Magnistky word-for-word for a segment on his CNN show.
